Hi. Welcome to the kde overlay. This overlay is a testing ground for the kde team. This is where we'll test new ideas before applying them in the tree. eix stuff: we all know that eix takes a long time to complete. i set up a server who generates metadata-cache, you can use it to speed up update-eix drastically. ATTENTION perhaps your overlay path may vary 1. execute metadata-sync in the Documentation directory 2. edit /etc/eixrc: OVERRIDE_CACHE_METHOD="/usr/local/portage/layman/kde-testing metadata-assign" everytime you sync the overlay, you have to sync the metadata manually again, i dont have a proper solution for that atm IMPORTANT NOTE FOR >=KDE-4.2.65 AND LIVE KDE4 USERS Some packages (notably kde-base/pykde4:4.3 and kde-base/pykde4:live) require some yet unreleased packages: - dev-python/sip - dev-python/PyQt4 They are maintaned in Official Qt Team Overlay (qting-edge), so please grab them from there. layman -a qting-edge (or use your favourite method to do it) For more info about qting-edge overlay, visit: http://github.com/gentoo-qt/qting-edge/tree/master/Documentation
